The first time I had this recipe was actually at our Belzoni home. Our special friends, An and Bill Faulkner, hosted their daughter Amanda’s wedding at our house and prepared this very special rice. I fell in love with it! It can be served warm or cold. I prefer it cold. I like serving it with something off the grill. It’s a dish that can be made ahead so you won’t be stressing getting everything ready for your Friday Night Porch Party.
